Lessons in Style and Technique from IJRC Board Member Rodrigo Pessoa

On May 19–20, 2025, Olympic champion Rodrigo Pessoa, former President and now Board Member of the International Jumping Riders Club, held a two-day clinic at SIR La Farnesina in Rome. The event hosted 10 rider-horse pairs, divided into two groups, and was open to the public, who could follow the sessions from the arena side.

Participants enjoyed a valuable technical experience, guided by one of the sport’s most respected figures. Pessoa, fluent in several languages including Italian, ensured smooth communication both for riders and spectators.

The clinic took place just before the 92nd Rome CSIO , that will be held from May 21st to 25th, 2025 in the scenic park of Villa Borghese, where Pessoa will compete for his Nation.
